Summary/Abstract: The year of 2014 marked the 2000th anniversary of the death of Octavius Augustus. The belief that under his mandate Rome conquered Spain constitutes of an error- it is not possible to conquer something that does not yet exist. They fought a variety of indigenous people- the turdetani, the Ilergates, but they were not Spaniards who confronted the Roman legions. Only when, after the pacification of Augustus, all those people and cultures have merged, Rome and its provincial administration managed to bring a political unity reaching a concept that comes to surpass, what until then was not more than a mere topographic concept.
